I would have to agree with Reefer Rouge. If people watching is your thing, then the Red Light District is the place to be. But if you would rather smoke some good herb, you will have to go a little bit further. For selection, go to Barney's or Greenhouse. For quality, go to Homegrown Fantasy (home to many frequently-visiting Americans and Brits).

Personally I found Amsterdam to be really expensive and lacking steady quality. You can't beat their selection though... If I was going to the Netherlands again, I would go to Alkmaar, only 35 minutes by train from Amsterdam, and go to Stepping Out. Great nugs, great coffee, and not many tourists. Alkmaar also has a Red Light District, but the last time I walked past it was hard to compare to Amsterdam's!
